Morse Watchmans, a technology firm with a reputation for providing reliable security management products, has recently integrated its KeyWatcher system with Lenel Systems International's security software.
This integration aims to enhance key management by ensuring compliance with industry legislation, as detailed by Lenel Systems, a company specialised in software and security solutions for corporate and governmental sectors.
Material provision and security integration
Lenel Systems operates alongside Dryad-Hudson, a collaboration between Wolseley UK and Hudson Group Ltd., to deliver an all-encompassing ironmongery and security design service to their clients.
As a value-added reseller for Lenel Systems, Dryad-Hudson is expanding beyond mere material provision, enhancing the integration of Morse Watchmans' KeyWatcher to adhere to various legal requirements. This partnership underscores their commitment to providing integrated security solutions.
Preventative measures and efficiency
A frontend database interfaces the KeyWatcher with multiple access control systems
A major aspect of the KeyWatcher integration is the development of an electronic solution to prevent keys from being taken off-site, thereby increasing efficiency and accuracy in reporting. This addresses feedback from diverse industry users who required a system capable of generating precise reports while incorporating preventative measures for unmanaged key removal. The mechanism ensures that users must return keys to the KeyWatcher system before exiting controlled premises.
The integration brings together providers in electronic key management, security hardware installation, and software. A frontend database interfaces the KeyWatcher with multiple access control systems, defining movement parameters for key-holding staff within buildings equipped with secured access doors. This holistic approach allows the electronic integration to function independently, freeing staff to focus on their primary responsibilities unless an alert demands intervention.
Comprehensive security parameters
The integration of Morse Watchmans' KeyWatcher with Lenel's software offers a variety of security features. These include user-specific access parameters, key usage timings, reservations, and annotation capabilities.
This configuration ensures that organisations can effectively allocate and monitor key access within their infrastructure, enhancing overall security management.
Morse Watchmans has been known as an innovator of high- quality, cost-effective technology for over a century. Through seamless design, manufacturing and support, they earned the reputation as the world leaders in security management products.
Specialising in state of the art key management (KeyWatcher), guard tour (Powercheck) and Tamper-proof KeyRings, our products are reliable, easy to use and expandable to meet your growing needs.

Dryad-Hudson is a partnership of Wolseley U.K, and the Hudson (Group) Ltd., developed in order to provide a global Ironmongery and Security design package direct to Dryads’ customer base introducing the full supply and installation of all products rather than a material provision only. Hudson being a “Value Added Reseller” for Lenel Systems International with Lenels’ expertise have been able to provide “Morse Watchmans” Keywatcher with the integration package illustrated below in order that they can comply with legislation.
Producing accurate reporting
A preventative measure from removing keys off site was needed. This needed to incorporate an electronic solution to reduce man hours, to prioritise work load and eliminate human error After assessing feedback from various industries and companies a system was required to facilitate a KeyWatcher to produce accurate reporting, backed up with preventative measures of keys not being removed from a controlled perimeter.
Allocated keys will only allow users to walk off site through an air lock with their key being returned first, to the KeyWatcher. The basics of this function must allow for any customers needs, such as any individual security applications and any future expansions.
Access controlled doors
The Solution - To bring together recognised market pioneers in their industries such as electronic key management systems, installers / suppliers of security hardware and security software. To interface the Keywatcher system with various access control systems, using a frontend database. The area of movement for staff with keys would be defined by the parameters within the building controlled by various access controlled doors.
The Results - The electronic integration is intended to work as a self running, stand alone system allowing staff more time to concentrate on their own duties. The only time intervention is needed is when an alarm is actuated requiring attention to deal with any issues raised, Through the database provided it can offer various security parameters that can be applied to users, keys, bunches of keys, time restraints, reservations and notes etc.
